Dumbbell Reverse Push-Up
The reverse push-up on dumbbells set by the lower ribs, knuckles toward the feet; the elbows travel straight back.
How to do it
Setup
High plank, dumbbells under the lower ribs with the handles across, gripped with the knuckles toward the feet.
Steps
- Lower the chest between the bells, elbows sliding straight back along the ribs.
- Keep the body in one line from head to heels.
- Press back up to straight arms.
Common mistakes
Bells set level with the shoulders: move them back under the lower ribs so the elbows bend straight back. Bells rolling as you press: squeeze the handles and push straight down into them. Hips sagging as you lower: brace the trunk and squeeze the glutes.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale pressing.
